Factors to consider.....
If his played is shooting, request may be granted even if shooter has ball but before shot is released.
If opponent is shooting, request must be made before the ball is 'at the disposal of shooter. See Rules Book for definition of 'at the disposal'
NB:This is for NFHS rules, other levels may differ.

If the situation is such that a Team is allowed to request a TO, then the Game Official must grant the request.
